This is going to be weird. I have three bows I consider so easy to shoot well that I don't shoot them as much as some others. I'm more likely to pick one up that I don't shoot as well as one of these.

Anyone else do t his?

(I know, if they're no challenge .....send them to ya!)

Nice problem to have! I hope to get to that point.

Not really. I do have a little collection of about 16 classics and give them all a chance to stretch their limbs during the year. I can't say any of them are too accurate to shoot though.

I hope one day that I'm in the same boat as you.

Yep ,, Im constantly trying to make things harder ... Strange, huh ? Guess that's why I've moved onto Straight {long} Real L/B's, After that conquest, I'll move onto SelfBows and shoot off my Knuckle ... {I Guess} ...

well i wish i was anywhere near that accurate. i only shoot accurately at animals or like pop bottles of sumthin besides dots on a target...

Your right - send me one, I need one of those "magical" bows

Please, I don't mean to suggest I'm a great recurve shot. I'm still learning to do this and struggle as much as most, I'm sure.  I'm certain there are many here who can shoot groups inside mine. I'm not even to the point I was back in the early 70's and wonder if I ever will be.

What I'm getting at is that 3 of my current 10 recurves are just so easy for me to shoot that I shoot others. Maybe it's sort of like shooting further than I want to hunt so the hunting shots are easier?  If I master the more difficult (for me) bows they'll all be easier?

I'm just wondering how weird this is? Do some of you brush off a bow or two because you know you can shoot it pretty good, to work with one you aren't as consistent with?

This is me. If only I could stumpshoot every day....

Well I can not say that I can shoot a certain bow well enough that it presents little challenge. I will, however shoot a "D" shaped bow, which I shoot with less consistancy yet just presents  greater fulfillment.

Someday I hope that I have that problem. I keep trying

Only with a wheelie

Sounds like a problem to have

LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTIN THERE....

That's why I went traditional.

Well Roy........which three???

I think I know what you mean. You have this bow that just shoots great for you each and every time.

No matter how long it's been since you shot this bow you know the when you pick it up, shoot a couple arrows and bam, everything is right back to normal, your right in the grove.

It's not that your a great shot, it's just with this bow, everything comes together, it just feels right.

Even after all these years shooting, I have not found that one bow that makes it easy. That is why I have to keep shooting. I do not shoot as well as I did when I was younger, older eyes, even dropped my bow weight after heart surgery.  

Seems like all of my bows are much more accurate than I am...

I think that boat ran me over on it's way out the harbor... looking like it'll never return to pick me up.

I did have ONE bow that just made it so easy for me to shoot accurately with... my Palmer Legend... one of those "now why did I sell it?" bows.
